I was just browsing <a href="http://www.theapplemuseum.com/"; target="_blank">The Apple Museum</a>, which claims the 12" and 17" PowerBook were referred to internally as Thresher and Hammerhead. Going back to aquatic code names, huh? Whatever happened to Dolphin, the water proof G4 PowerBook

    Recycing those code names too: the AppleVision 1710AV Display was also codenamed Hammerhead

    What the hell? The XServe was called "The Thing 2." Boy, the engineers at Apple sure are creative. At least it's better than Pxx, the name Apple uses for most of its products.
